Hi!
My shieldtablet is running CM 12.1 (latest 20160807 build)... That works fine. It has latest TWRP 3.0.2-2 installed. And latest open GAPPS 5.1 (mini arm).
I am trying to get it to run CM 13 I've tried the first builds... didn't work... I tried today with the very latest nightly build 20160909... I do this by booting to recovery (TWRP 3.0.2-2) then going to install, and installing cm-13-20160909-NIGHTLY-shieldtablet.zip, and also open_gapps-arm-6.0-mini-20160912.zip (using the install multiple ZIPs feature of TWRP). Then I wipe DAVIK and cache and reboot.
Device stays forever at the nvidia logo.
I turn it off. Boot to recovery, reinstall CM 12.1 and opengapps 5.1 with same process... and that works fine. Machine reboots like a charm.
Any idea if I am missing a step? And what step that would be?
Thanks in advance,
Gilles.
Have you done the firmware update?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi...-cyanogenmod-12-shield-tablet-lte-na-t3055043
Firmware Update:
If you have not installed the latest stock ota, then some firmware files need updated. The following flashable zips will update the bootloader and the dtb corresponding with the listed stock version. Only the latest one listed here will be supported by recent CM builds.
3.1.1 (L)
4.2.0 (M)
Ah... No. I'm confused, though. What's the difference between L and M files? Do I need to flash both? Or just one?
I'm running CM 12.1 (Android 5.1.1 Lollipop)... So I could imagine having to flash L? But since I'm updating to 6.0.1... Would that mean M?
I imagine I download the ZIP, boot into TWRP, flash the right version. Then flash CM 13. Then flash Open GAPPS?
Or in a different order?
Thanks,
Gilles
I'm on stock, so it's just a shot in the dark - but i think this sounds logical:
L - Lollipop - 5.x, flash this when you are on 13.0 and want back to 12.1
M - Marshmallow - 6.x, flash this when you are on 12.1 and want flash 13.0
and then cm + gapps of course
regards,
wakko
All in one shot? Boot to TRWP, flash M, CM, GAPPS then reboot?
Hopefully - you'll only find out, when you try
So... that's exactly what I did, and it worked.
So steps : log into the SHIELD (CM 12.1 / Android 5.5.1)
Reboot to recovery (configured advanced reboot in developer options)
From recovery, selected the M drivers, then added the CM 13 zip, then added the Open GAPPS (6.0 ARM MINI) ZIP.
Then clicked FLASH
Then rebooted (I was impatient, didn't think to clear DALVIK and cache).
Machine rebooted and all seems well (SD card was detected and I said use as portable storage, Avast asked for a few more permissions, only Viber got confused and requires relinking to mobile account).
All nice.
One issue is that the lock screen doesn't follow device rotation. It stays configured for portrait mode. Once I log in, and get to the main launcher screen, then the screen orientation properly follows device rotation.

That default changed in cm13. Dunno if it was an aosp change or cm. You can toggle it back on under settings->display->rotation.

I am having the exact same issues as OP. Not tried this fix yet, but seems promising. Question is, does any of those L or M files wotk with Nougat? or is there one for that too?
Hey everyone,
i usually don't post questions but i've been on pretty much every forum the web has to offer and am still stuck so i'll try my luck here.
i'm currently running lineage 7.1 on my mi4c, i've used another phone for a while but now that my mi4c has a new battery i wanted to start using it again, is also decided this would be the time to update it to android oreo or pie, this however seems to be impossible.
i can only use twrp up to 3.1.1.1, all higher (and unofficial versions) will not boot via fastboot 'dtb not found' or when flashed via older twrp will freeze on boot screen.
whenever i try to install a new rom it tells me 'error code 7', when i remove the 'assert' lines in the update it gives me 'error code 6'
my device is unlocked, i have checked this in fastboot.
do i have to install miui again before installing another rom? do i have to go back to the standard recovery? i'm currently running out of ideas and hope you guys might be able to help me. maybe i'm overlooking something simple.
kind regards,
Monstreys
Hi! I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but I was about to start a similar thread.
I try to do exactly what you are doing. I want to install LineageOS 16, unofficial ROM.
For this you need a newer TWRP, like 3.2.3.0, but it doesn't work 'dtb not found' like you said. I found out that this doesn't work because you need to have nougat bootloader. Most probably you have lollipop bootloader like I have, and thats why newer versions of TWRP are not working. I think the only way to update your bootloader to a nougat one is to flash the latest MIUI ROM. But, unfortunately, when you do that the bootloader gets locked, and I can't unlock it via MiUnlock due to Error:20091 when I try to link the phone to the Mi account. In MiUnlock it gives me the "this account cannot unlock the phone" or something like that.
Now I removed the "assert" lines from my rom and flashed it without the error 7 or 6. Some error still apears, but it also apears when I flash LineageOS 14.1, and that version is working even with those 2 errors I can't remember during flash.
After I flashed LineageOS, I flashed gapps and then superSU, and now my mi4c is stuck on mi logo for about 20 minutes, and I think it will remain that way.
So, there are 2 things we need to solve. We need to find a way to install latest MIUI without relocking the bootloader because I can't unlock it via MiUnlock, or to find out why after I flashed LineageOS 16 it gets stuck on MI logo.
I think I found the solution. Do exactly what this guy is doing here and it might work.

I followed that guy instructions and I managed to install TWRP 3.2.3.0 and LineageOS 16, and it booted. Now I am at the setup part but it has very big lag...

My MI4C has been successfully flushed into lineage-17.1-20200220-UNOFFICIAL-libra.zip. It has been updated on TWRP 3.1.1 and keeps reporting error 7, and then abandoned TWRP3.1.1 and flashed into OrangeFox-R10.0-1-Stable-libra.zip After brushing libra-aqua_firmware_7.2.9.zip on this REC, you can flash lineage-17.1. I do n’t think it will be impossible to refresh because of partition problems. If you only need to upgrade lineage-17.1, you can refer to this method.:good::good:（Translation is not easy to use）
celrau said:
There is a 3.2.x around. If you don't want to bother go in the zip, /META-INF/com/google/android/ and delete the first lines (the ones starting with "assert") from updater-script, save and flash again.

GravityBox [R] was pre-released today! Thus, I was able to update, using this very method, all the way from August 2020 thru January 2021. Entire process took only about an hour, with no hiccups. =) =) =)
But luckily, that also means I can actually start confirming again, personally, that everything is working fine. I can happily report everything is working great after this update. SafetyNet is passing with the correct configurations, and January 2021 build is working perfectly so far with Kirisakura 6.6.6 (why @Freak07, why did you have to release as this particular version number?? lol).

-------------UPDATE PROCESS BELOW-------------

EASY UPDATE / SEAMLESS KEEP-ROOT UPDATE PROCESS (using a PC - a very intuitive, effective, and relatively safe method).
** You can only follow this guide verbatim if coming EXACTLY from build "11.0.0 (RQ1A.201205.008, Dec 2020)". But the general idea is the same for other builds, you just need the correct files for your device.

January 2021 sideload OTA zip: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/coral-ota-rq1a.210105.003-ad8d5ecc.zip
DO NOT BOOT BACK INTO O/S UNTIL ALL STEPS ARE COMPLETED - THIS ENSURES EVERYTHING BOOTS BACK UP WITH MAGISK / EDXPOSED ALL RUNNING PROPERLY RIGHT AWAY
1. boot into bootloader
----------------
** I was on custom kernel, so I needed to flash BOTH the stock boot and dtbo images
2. fastboot flash boot coral-rq1a.201205.008-factory-boot.img
3. fastboot flash dtbo coral-rq1a.201205.008-factory-dtbo.img
......* these steps to restore stock recovery; dtbo.img also necessary for some kernel installations.
......* won't hurt to flash both anyway, so if you're unsure, go ahead and do both.
-----------------
4. use volume keys to change selection to boot to Recovery Mode
......- when you reach the android symbol with No Command, hold power button, tap volume up, in case you've forgotten
5. choose option "Apply update from ADB"
6. adb sideload coral-ota-rq1a.210105.003-ad8d5ecc.zip
7. Once the OTA sideload is done, Reboot to bootloader (you'll also notice it's now on the other slot after OTA flashed)
8. fastboot flash boot coral-rq1a.210105.003-magisk_patched-21.2.img
9. done, start the phone
(Optional - Flash custom kernel. If you had a custom kernel, you need to re-flash it)
This is a 100% seamless update that requires no additional / re-setup of any of my Magisk or EdXposed setups. All of the factory files can be found here https://developers.google.com/android/images. boot.img and dtbo.img are in their corresponding full Factory Image zips, and the ota zip is under Full OTA Images.

-------------------TROUBLESHOOTING-------------------
-------------------------------------------------
Issues after updating?
If you end up unable to boot or bootlooping afterwards, you most likely have an old Magisk module that isn't playing nice with the new build. There are 2 main things you can do:
1. Flash the new factory untouched boot image. You will of course lose root, and all modules will be disabled. However, it should at least get you able to boot back up quickly and have a working phone if you're in a bind.
2. I would recommend checking Tulsadiver's thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-4-xl/how-to/magisk-modules-disabler-booting-magisk-t3990557
Instead of reverting to stock boot image, fastboot boot (NOT FLASH) Tulsadiver's boot image. This will boot your phone in Magisk Core-Only Mode, with all modules disabled but root retained. From here you can open Magisk Manager and disable suspect modules. Before rebooting, go to Magisk Manager's settings and disable Magisk Core-Only Mode. Once you disable the incompatible module, the phone should boot back up.

[EDIT 01-13-2021] YET ANOTHER NEW SAFETYNET WORKAROUND (AS OF AROUND JANUARY 12 / 13):
Please see this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-edxposed-gpay-discussion.3992607/post-84285539
Thank you for the update guides as always.
Just wanted to say a quick thanks. Worked like a charm!
Worked like a charm
I'd like to ask someone for help! If you haven't updated yet (i.e. you're still on 2020-12 patch level [non-AT&T]), and NOT using Edge Sense Plus (Active Edge Mod in Magisk Manager and/or EdXposed Manager) NOR any of Tulsadiver's theming mods (3minit / clock / 9tiles / etc), could you please send me your stock SystemUIGoogle.apk file? You can find it, using a root capable file explorer app, under:
(root) /system_ext/priv-app/SystemUIGoogle/SystemUIGoogle.apk
It needs to be the stock, completely unmodified .apk, which is why I'm asking to make sure you're not using any of those mods I mentioned. Or, you could disable those mods temporarily (both Magisk and EdXposed), reboot, and pull the .apk file. Unfortunately whenever I pull it from Google's factory system image always seems to be corrupted. Would just be easier for me if I could get it from someone's up-and-running system...
Thanks!! I really hope someone can do me a solid...
Or, does anybody know if it's safe to "downgrade" to December 2020? Using the full factory image and removing -w flag (and replacing boot.img with magisk patched)? I would think it would work, but I've never tried, nor needed, to flash the previous month's firmware before.

Well I have a pixel 4 xl and I've rolled back to android 10 back in October, due to 11's bugs. So in my experience it is safe to roll back to previous updates. Being that I flashed

I just got the OTA update this week (1-14-2021) and was just wondering if the 1st post is still valid? Right now I am on Android 11 (RP1A.200720.009). Which files do I need to download from Google to go from RP1A.200720.009 to the latest OTA? Thanks in advance!
I am confused on number 8 ( 8. fastboot flash boot coral-rq1a.210105.003-magisk_patched-21.2.img ) where do I get that patched img file from? I am already rooted with Magisk vf5593e05 (4835)
One more small question.... what does DTBO stand for? I have never heard of that?
OMG!!!! I did it!!! Woo Hoo!!! Took me about 30 minutes! I did not flash the " coral-rq1a.201205.008-factory-dtbo.img " because I am not using a custom kernel just straight stock!
It scared me at first because it was taking so long for my Pixel 4 Xl to boot back up but it finally came back on.
I also had to update Magisk to f5593e05 (21401).
I have now went from Android 11 (RP1A.200720.009) to Android 11 (RQ1A.210105.003) and I still have ROOT!!!
Thank you @i5lee8bit for this easy to use guide! I am still a noob using ADB but I am learning more and more!
Oh yea... you said "GravityBox [R] was pre-released today!" where can I get that from? Does it work good?
Is anyone monitoring this thread? I feel all alone!
Perfect write-up. Followed it as instructed, had my phone rebooted with the new update in less than 10 minutes. Even had to double-check that it actually updated since it rebooted so fast!
Thanks!
The February update is out. Anyone got the magisk patched file?
For some reason I'm getting installation error when trying to patch boot image. Tried canary & stable magisk APK. Can someone confirm this?
I got the same, on canary
No issues here. Everything worked first try. Updating phone now, guide will be up soon (assuming no other errors otherwise).
Edit: It's up: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...5-004-coral-magisk-stock-boot-images.4227845/
Will also be editing the Active Edge Mod for Edge Sense Plus module really soon, and will be indicated on that thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...or-patch-levels-2021-01-05-and-later.4226343/

Hello community!
Hope you are doing awesome, I am trying to install specifically the update from the 18 th of May (latest while doing this post) so when I downloaded it I go to TWRP and this is what I done
1)Place my pin and decrypt the device
2) Perform a format Data > Yes
3) Wipe cache, dalvik, internal
4) Restart to Recovery
5) Install the update all seems to be fine and reboot to system
The Phone boots to Poco screen and then vibrates and then gets me back to TWRP. I manage one time to get it worked and got in the config page from the customer rom a UI unresponsive message and is unable to connect to my Wifi so I have to use the Data 4G to make it work and I rolledback to April version of Arrow OS that seems to be the one working now.
The Miui stock that I am using to install the customer Rom is surya_global_images_V12.0.8.0.QJGMIXM_20210222.0000.00_10.0_global
Could you please provide some hints and tips what I am doing wrong so I can get this updates up to date? Because I love the Arrow OS Rom and I want to keep the firmware updated correclty on my side.
Thank you!
I am very interested, too. Got the same problem. After latest OTA-Update I'm stuck in a recovery bootloop as well.
Sadly even the attempt to flash back an older version or a MIUI Stock rom is failing for me now. Always recovery bootloop, even after a successfull flash without errors (and format data of course) .
Is the stock rom or an older arrow os version working for you, after the 18th May update?
@koelbche I was able to make a stock based on the stock fw shown on my post. then I installed old version of arrow OS April update and it was restarting bootloop.
I had to delete data, factory reset and select de wipe options so super clean flash and manage to boot it up.
I am waiting for any updates from others that manage to install the updates because I was not able to do it.
Flash ArrowOS custom recovery for ota update to work. After update you can flash recovery back to TWRP for root and backup, your choice.
I was able to make it worked in another post.
All I have to do was to update the version of the stock with Oss vendor (I think) and then all worked like a charm!.
Thanks for the replies though
Hi, today i flash the december update in my pixel 6a, now i can´t root, magisk patch the image but when i flash it (fastboot flash boot magisk-patched.img) the phone join in a bootloop and need to reinstall the rom, any help?
I have seen below another thread with the same problem but they talk about the QPR2 beta and I don't know if the same procedure applies with the December update.
Thanks!
What do you mean? If bootloader is unlocked and you run 'fastboot flash boot "file" ' will it work fine.
You can also check the magic managers logs on /cache.

Make sure you don't have any Magisk mods that may need disabling and updating.
And no, the same procedure does not apply for the stable December update as it does for QPR2 Beta 1.

Yes, that is the procedure I am referring to, the one I have always used, it is strange, as I said, I have followed the same steps as always:
1. Download Factory image of december for Pixel 6a (the last one available in the web).
2. Extract boot.img
3. Patch it with latest magisk app (25.2)
4. Reboot to fastboot
5. Use command "fastboot flash boot magisk-patched.img"
The command is applied correctly but when rebooting the terminal stays in the "Google" logo and after a while it reboots and returns to the same "Google" screen, so in a loop.

I don't have any modules installed, it's a clean install of everything.
It will sound stupid but... I did the steps indicated in the other thread and I have solved the problem, I have root.
I downloaded the december image of the Pixel 7 Pro, extracted the boot.img, patched it with magisk and flashed it with the usual command "fastboot flash boot magisk-patched.img" and it let me boot without problems and working root.
thats crazy, Im on december update A13 and I had no issues whatsoever.
booted the image and then flashed through magisk instead of flashing it directly but still... if it were broken that wouldnthave worked

I know, the truth is that it makes no sense that I have given me this problem because I did not see anyone else with the December update talking about this particular problem, the closest thing was the post I mentioned with the beta, the phone had just arrived from the SAT but I do not think this influenced the problem, it came with the November update and I updated it to the December update.
You mentionned you downloaded the image for the Pixel 7 pro. I assume you made a type and are not flashing a pixel 7 pro image to a pixel 6a? If not then get the right image file.
Otherwise I suggest using the Pixel Flasher software posted in this forum. It's a really good piece of software.
No hassle with manual flashing anymore.
With Pixel Flasher I even update to new security patches with keeping root in like 4-10 minutes, by just downloading the image and then clicking a couple buttons
